Background:

Lisa Miller has been the society editor of Newsweek magazine since the year 2000. She has been the society and religion editor of Newsweek since 2006-OCT.

She wrote the cover story for the 2008-DEC-15 edition of Newsweek, titled "Our Mutual Joy." The article promotes same-sex marriage (SSM) on the basis of two themes in the Christian Bible: inclusiveness and love.

The article stirred up a hornets nest of opposition, primarily from religious and social conservatives who oppose marriage equity regardless of the sexual orientation of the couple.
